“...It was delightful to read this descriptive narrative. The sisters stayed safe as they acquired new swimming skills, facilitated by Uncle Dexter and Aunt Celia. Finally, they joyfully reminisced about their attained competence and success in the swimming competition… My love for the characters, Keisha, and Alexis continued to grow. The attributes and personalities of these unique sisters were depicted as they exhibited a plethora of emotions and traits between themselves … nervousness, hesitancy, cautiousness, attentiveness, determination, comfort, enjoyment, competitiveness, confidence, pride, and accomplishment. Keisha and Alexis embraced the importance of safety throughout the learning experience and their feelings directed the actions of the story.” - Desiree DeFlorimonte, Ph.D., Literacy Specialist and Early Childhood Educator on Keisha and Alexis’ Grand Adventure: Learning to Swim
“One of the joys of life is learning how to swim. The first time entering into the water and getting that sense of adventure that brings pride, excitement and feeling of great accomplishment. This book captures the magic, the feel, the energy and the spirit of learning how to swim. We experience this through the eyes of two bright little girls. Who are full of life and eager to start this journey and learn new things. The main characters of Keisha and Alexis were expertly captured and written. It felt as though I was transported to my childhood and the wonderful memories it brought. The story is simple with a sprinkle of magic and a great sense of adventure. You feel the enthusiasm of the authors. As they poured themselves onto these pages. This story is one I’ve read to my nieces and they loved it. I, as adult also loved it. I highly recommend ‘Keisha and Alexis Grand Adventure’ to any parent looking to give their children a new opportunity to experience the adventure of living in Guyana and exploring the mind blowing fondness experienced by the story’s main and supporting characters.” - Ryan Lewis on Keisha and Alexis’ Grand Adventure: Learning to Swim
